In this review, we discuss the most recent developments in gene-editing technology and discuss their application to adoptive T cell immunotherapy.
Engineered T cell therapies targeting cancer antigens have demonstrated significant efficacy in specific patient populations. Most impressively, CD19-directed chimeric antigen receptor T cells (CART19) have led to impressive responses in patients with B-cell leukemia and lymphoma. CTL019, or KYMRIAH™ (tisagenlecleucel), a CD19 CAR T cell product developed by Novartis and the University of Pennsylvania, was recently approved for clinical use by the Food and Drug Administration, representing a landmark in the application of adoptive T cell therapies. As CART19 enters routine clinical use, improving the efficacy of this exciting platform is the next step in broader application. Novel gene-editing technologies like CRISPR-Cas9 allow facile editing of specific genes within the genome, generating a powerful platform to further optimize the activity of engineered T cells.
在本综述中,我们讨论了基因编辑技术的最新进展,并探讨了其在过继性T细胞免疫治疗中的应用。
靶向癌症抗原的工程化T细胞疗法在特定患者群体中已显示出显著疗效。最令人印象深刻的是,靶向CD19的嵌合抗原受体T细胞(CART19)在B细胞白血病和淋巴瘤患者中引发了令人瞩目的反应。CTL019,即诺华公司和宾夕法尼亚大学联合开发的CD19嵌合抗原受体T细胞产品KYMRIAH™(tisagenlecleucel),最近已获美国食品药品监督管理局批准用于临床,这代表了过继性T细胞疗法应用中的一个里程碑。随着CART19进入常规临床应用,提高这个令人振奋的平台的疗效是更广泛应用的下一步。像CRISPR-Cas9这样的新型基因编辑技术能够轻松编辑基因组内的特定基因,从而形成一个强大的平台,可进一步优化工程化T细胞的活性。
